Hello,

I'd need to pass a variable to Ctx and to retrieve it inside a compiled 
document - via Ctx itself and also by Lua. Something like modes; but modes 
allow just to check whether they are on or off. I'd need something like this:

Calling context.exe:

---
call context.exe test.mkiv --mode:MyMode --variable MyVariable=AAA
---

And test.mkiv:

---
\starttext
  Hello

  \doifmode{MyMode}{Being in MyMode}

  \ifvariableequal{MyVariable}{AAA}{MyVariable is \MyVariable} % Something like 
this

  \startluacode
    if context.variables.MyVariable == "AAA" then
      context("MyVariable is defined.") -- Something like this
    end
  \stopluacode
\stoptext
---

Simply said, I'd need to provide a conditional (or: dependent) compilation of 
the input file.

How to handle this?

Best regards,

Lukas
